How to make:

1. Dissolve the gelatin in water and set aside.

2. Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl.

3. Add the dissolved gelatin to the mixture and mix on high speed.

4. Pour the mixture into a cake tin and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

5. Remove from the tin and place it on a plate. Let a spoon or small ice cream scoop heat up in hot water and use it to scoop out hollows around the cake, creating a Swiss cheese effect.

Bonus tip: add a few extra hollows to the sides of the slices once you've cut it into individual slices to create a realistic look of a block of cheese.
